Recipe
Ingredients
- Tieguanyin Tea leaves
- Nai Jing(or Milk)
- Simple syrup
- Ice
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Tea Extraction] Prepare heavily roasted, dark brown 'Tieguanyin Tea' leaves from Muzha, Taiwan.
- Extract slowly and longer with boiling water to be stronger than regular black tea. Maximize Tieguanyin's unique 'heavy, savory roasted aroma'.
- [Milk Ratio] Taiwanese drink stands generously add 'Nai Jing (milk powder/creamer)' instead of milk to create a junk, rich depth that withstands the strong tea flavor. *Of course, 'Tieguanyin Xian Naicha' made with fresh milk is also hugely popular.
- Sweeten to taste with simple syrup (or brown sugar syrup).
- Shake vigorously with ice in a shaker to mellow it out, then pour into a cup.

Trivia
[For Adults] The 'connoisseur' choice adults graduate to after getting bored of black-tea-based milk teas at Taiwanese drink stands. Similar to Japanese Hojicha Latte, but Tieguanyin has a thicker tea skeleton, providing an intense punch that isn't overpowered by milk.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Add boba (Zhenzhu) topping, enjoying the contrast between Tieguanyin's bitter savoriness and boba's sweetness with adult composure!
